[00:00.00]Sad Song (LP Version) - Ephraim Lewis
[00:40.21]Back room parlour lonely sits and cries
[00:47.01]See her with her head in her hands
[00:52.09]And nothing at all in her eyes
[00:56.20]Always listening for the telephone
[01:03.13]But it only rings wrong numbers
[01:07.68]Or whenever she's not in her home
[01:12.08]Thinking life would pass her by
[01:16.33]She openes up her arms
[01:19.39]To reach for the skies
[01:23.87]Who can dream they never came true
[01:28.66]So now she paints herself a sad song
[01:33.78]Colours it blue
[01:43.51]Late night cafe closing
[01:47.84]On the street
[01:50.12]He's turning out
[01:50.77]To hide in doorways
[01:54.92]Any corner that others sleep
[01:59.40]Empty bottle spirits he has known
[02:06.11]A vision of a quiet face
[02:11.08]Together they look like home
[02:15.27]Thinking life would pass him by
[02:19.58]He opens up his arms
[02:22.72]To reach for the sky
[02:27.05]Who can dream they never came true
[02:31.64]So now he paints
[02:33.55]Himself a sad song
[02:36.98]Colours it blue
[03:03.18]Memories fading
[03:05.50]Photograph of years ago
[03:13.04]When life has
[03:14.16]Passed them by
[03:16.82]They open up their mouths
[03:20.00]To scream at the sky
[03:24.93]Their dreams they never came true
[03:28.87]So we will paint ourselves
[03:31.88]A sad song
[03:34.17]Colour it blue
[03:49.91]Colour it blue
